(Win98 problem ??) Error While Parsing a Large Cell

[rubicat]

I have been getting the following error when working with The Godfather Part 2, disc 1 (from the Godfather DVD Collection): "Error while parsing cell.", then "Warning there could be problems exporting this disc." The cell that triggers the error is VTS 1, PGC 1, cell 18. This cell is very large (1222.39MB). Does DVDRM Pro have a limit to how large a cell can be? I thought that this might be the case because when you select this cell, it seems to read almost to the end and then triggers this error (it takes about 30 seconds after selecting the cell), as if DVDRM is limited to 1 GB. Is this the case, or does size not matter? BTW, I'm using version 2.4.4

DRM will work with vob files large then 1Gb. We will have to double check what will happen if one cell is large then 1Gb. Do we understand it right: you can import disk, but latter on during parsing for preview you get the error? Is there any message in the log file?

Are there any problems during export or with the playback of exported disk?

I don't know, I haven't tried to export it yet. I was trying to do a split there. The original movie is on 2 discs. The first disc is a fairly full dual-layer disk and disc 2 is on a single layer disc. I was going to move a few chapters from disc 1 to disc 2 so I don't have to Shrink it as much. This has worked well for me on other 2-disc movies, such as Pearl Harbor. For disc 2, I was going to hide all the cells before this cell in question (the first cell to be on my disc 2) and then copy the PGC from disc 2 for the rest of my disc 2. When I selected this cell to "Hide blocks before this" I got this error. I will try to export all of disc 1, without previewing this cell, to see is it works. I'll let you know what happens.

Hi and welcome to the forums rubicat is this the black box collection and if so what Region is it? I have Region 2 handy so I can always try it if need be p.s size does matter sometimes

Have to agree with erdoke. We've done some tests - no problem with large cells. It must be something else not just size.

Cells larger than 1Gb do seem to be a problem on my system. I found a couple more 1Gb+ cells on Billy Bathgate and they do the same thing--about 30 seconds of disk activity and then the "Error Parsing Cell." Could this be a Windows 98 thing? I am using WIN98SE. I know most are using XP now, but I still have not upgraded (I'd rather not). So far every cell that is >1Gb that I have tried triggers this error.

Could be since Win98 uses FAT32 & XP uses NTFS. I've had several dvd's with very large cells (1200MB -> 1800MB/cell) never had any problems.

Hello, I've run across this once before but instead of copying vob files I was doing DV captures on a FAT32 formatted disk and even though it looked as if the captures were going to work and the edit s/w did not balk. When played back, somewhere along the line the video always got corrupted. Someone suggested that I upgrade my primary disc to Win2000 or XP, I did that and I also formatted the secondary (capture) disc to NTFS and my probs. went away! You could do a scandisk and see if any of your files might be cross linked. N.
